SPECTRA will also feature several workshops throughout the Quad Cities fall 2017-spring 2018, thanks to the support of the Regional Development. Our first community workshop will be “Speaker for the Dead,” a persona poetry workshop led by NEA Poetry Fellow Anders Carlson-Wee.

The workshop will be held at MWC in the Rock Island Public Library during the All Senses Festival on Saturday, September 30, 12-2pm, and is free for high school and college students, as well as for All Senses ticket holders (RSVP required – space is limited). Visit the webpage to register or contact MWC with questions or to reserve your space today.
